Posting to Instagram:

Log in to the MAP/FHIT Instagram account
Click the (+) button on the bottom of the page to add content
1. Instagram allows you to add up to 10 videos/pictures at a time
Add the video(s) or picture(s) by clicking on the content you want to use
1. If you want to add multiple videos/pictures, there is a button on the right corner of the image that looks like 2 squares. That button will allow you to add multiple videos/pictures
2. On the left corner of the image are 2 arrows pointing in different directions. These arrows will allow you to fit the image/video into the frame better so you can see the full capacity of the image/video
  1. Make sure to fit the first image/video before adding multiple videos. If you don’t then all the videos will be just fit to the screen and not get all the image/video you want will fit.
The next page will allow you to trim clips, add filters, add sound, and make a cover for the post.
1. The cover for the post is extremely important because this is what the viewer sees when scrolling through their page. Make sure you add a cover that will likely draw the viewer’s attention to the post.
2. At the top of the page is a sound button. This will allow you to add sound or not to the post. Unless the sound is needed for the post, don’t have it on.

Posting to FB:

Gain Access through GMAN (MAP) or DAN (MAP/FHIT) or MATT (FHIT)
Log in to the MAP/FHIT FB account
On the MAP/FHIT FB page press the publish button
After pressing publish there are a number of options listed below (photo/video, check-in,etc.)
FB only allows 1 video to post at a time. You cannot post multiple videos or even add another photo onto the video you are trying to post. You can add multiple photos.
Once you pick the content you’d like to post, add a detailed description of what you’re posting.
Also unlike instagram you can add clickable links and your own write up so you can go to the exact page you want. (Instagram you have to add a link to a bio)
When finished, click the share button on the top right corner.
Also you can link your Instagram to your Facebook.
1. Works great for posting one place and removes a step of doing the same post on Facebook
2. Works great for photo(s) and 1 video file
3. Will not allow more than 1 video per post (So if you have more this option won’t work)

- Also please make sure you let me know what you want posted about the clip.
  - Example (Video was a 1 on 1 closing the gap/angle drill)
    - Plymouth Campus Tier 2’s got some 1 on 1 angling work today. Usually use this drill for the D, however it works just as well for F’s in the NZ! Goal was to put the D and F’s feet to the test. A few points of emphasis; stick and body positioning, being able to match speeds, and gap. Forwards attacking changing speeds, being able to read the D, and pushing to the middle to get more room to the outside. #maphockey #nhl #hockeytraining #ushl
